trans-Dichlorobis(2,4-dimethylthiazole)copper(II)

Aspects of the Coordination Chemistry of 1,1′‐Bis(benzothiazol‐2‐ylthio)ferrocene

“…arrangement. Bond lengths and angles are very similar to those reported for the closely related trans-dichlorobis(3,5dimethylthiazole)copper(II) [5] and trans-dichlorobis(2aminobenzothiazole)copper(II) [6], whereas the dichlorocopper(II) complex of (bzt-2) 2 -o-C 6 H 4 (bzt-2 ϭ benzothiazol-2-yl) is a cis-chelate which exhibits a notably distorted square-planar coordination [7]. We note that Cu II complexes which contain imidazole or related heterocyclic N-ligands together with additional thioether ligands are currently attracting increased attention due to their relevance to the catalytic centre of peptidylglycine α-hydroxylating monooxygenase (PHMcc) and related oxygenases with an essentially mononuclear catalytic core [8].…”
